Coal-Waste Artificial Reef Program, Phase 4B

OSTI ID:6428872

The Coal Waste Artificial Reef Program (C-WARP) has continued to investigate the environmental effects of disposing of fly ash and scrubber sludge in the ocean in the form of stabilized blocks. An artificial reef was constructed in the Atlantic Ocean with 500 tons of coal waste blocks on 12 September 1980. This report describes in detail the studies made from September 1981 through August 1983, the second and third year following placement of the coal waste reef. The effort includes laboratory and field studies to (1) measure physical block properties; (2) examine mineral phases; (3) determine the blocks chemical changes in seawater; (4) analyze leachate characteristics; and (5) collect environmental monitoring data on the reef. 74 references, 73 figures, 53 tables.
